The stranger of the forest.

It's been 5 years since my brother left and all for a silly cheesecake, I feel a little guilty, I said nasty things to him that day, my anger controlled me and I let out strong words, I'm really sorry. Everything has been chaos, I never imagined that something like this would happen, it was very unexpected, it only took one day for everyone's life to change.

Monsters, a lot of them appeared out of nowhere murdering the townspeople and so on, it's total chaos, even the cities are in constant evacuation, those things are invading day after day villages and shelters. Fortunately Amelia, the girl who after the disappearance of my brother came closer to us, after the death of her whole family, Mrs. Sofia decided to take care of her and that is why she is with us. Anyway, as I was saying, Amelia, Mrs. Sofia and I took refuge in the hut where I used to live with my brother.

Right now I'm 15 years old and as I said a long time ago, I'm taller than Mrs. Sofia now I can even achieve things that she can't and that makes me feel powerful, no, just kidding.

"Astaro, you can pass me the salt that's on top of the refrigerator, I can't afford it," Sofia spoke.

I lowered the salt and gave it to him, it should be said that we fixed the hut very well, although to tell the truth there was not much to fix, we only covered a hole that was in the ground, the beasts usually attacked at night, although there is always one or another loose during the day, I always stay awake at night, protecting them is my responsibility, I told Mrs. Sofia about my abilities at the age of 13, she reacted very surprised, but mentioned that she already suspected that I was not a normal boy.

"Brother, do you think I'm doing well?" Amelia spoke to me, who showed me a nice drawing about the moon and the stars.

Amelia was 13 years old, she is younger than me by two years, the fact why she calls me brother is because I asked her to do so, after all I always wanted a younger brother, the hours passed and finally night fell, Amelia and Mrs. Sofia went to sleep with all the lights in the hut off.

"I'll go up to the roof of the hut," I said to Sofia.

"Okay, but be very careful," he hugged me.

"I'll be fine, I'm very strong," he boasted.

"Yes, yes, if what the alpha male says."

After that little conversation I went up to the roof of the Hut, as I grew I realized that I lacked things to discover, last year I had a very strong itch in my eyes, but after a few minutes the itching disappeared, then that same day at night, I discovered that I could see in the dark, It was as if it were actually daytime.

I looked at the horizon, I looked at one of the monsters that had come out of nowhere. He was approximately 2 meters tall, his feet and hands were long and large, while his head was very small, on his face he only had one eye and a small mouth, he usually has two colors, one white and one black. But these in particular didn't worry me, they were very easy to defeat.

I kept looking and I could see the second monster, it was practically a giant wolf, it was 2 meters wide and 4 meters long, its eyes were blood red, also its fur was black, these usually cause me a little trouble, but they are also not a big deal. Finally, look past the last monster, this is the real problem, it is a giant scarlet red snake, it was 2 meters tall and surprisingly 20 meters long, its eyes were yellow, these are the real enemies to defeat, fortunately they do not usually frequent this area, it is a relief for us.

While I was watching the area, a flash of light could be seen in the distance, I looked more closely, it was a fire, the town was on fire, I left the hut making sure that there was no light on that could attract the attention of the monsters. I stood at the top of a tree while watching the fire spread, the question passed in my mind how did it happen? Who was the cause? Well, whatever it is, no problem, after all the village had already been evacuated a long time ago.

"Good evening, precious," a female voice spoke behind me.

A woman who appeared to be 30 years old was standing at the top of the back tree where I was, she was dressed in a black short-sleeved blouse, on top of this she had a vest that reached above her navel, also black, at the bottom she had black military-style pants, finally, He had boots of the same color as his whole outfit. The wind was blowing strongly, his long black hair was moving in the same direction as the wind, he was looking at me flirtatiously with his brown eyes, I felt literally analyzed from head to toe.

"Who are you?" I asked seriously.

"Hello, my name is Guang, it's a pleasure sweetheart," he sent me a kiss.

"Guang?" what a strange name and I thought my brother was the worst at choosing names," I thought, "I guess you're a military man or I'm wrong," I said.

"No, you're wrong, I'm just a teacher," she replied smiling.

"Don't play with me!" I exclaimed excitedly, "A teacher? Don't treat me like a child, what kind of teacher climbs to the treetops so easily," I pointed to her.

"Ow you're a cuteness when you get angry," in the blink of an eye I had her in front of me, "I love strong and aggressive men like you, tell me, do you want to feel the real pleasure?" He licked my right ear.

I jumped down from the tree, looked up to see if the woman was still at the top of the tree, to my surprise she was lying on the ground, she encouraged me to go with her. I couldn't know the woman's intentions, so I chose to leave, I ran as fast as I could, but she kept following me, she kept following me.

"Honey, you don't think it would be better to lie down in an uninhabited house, it would be very exciting to do that," again her speed left me perplexed, in a flash I had her in front of me, "I like handsome men a lot, but for some strange reason," she stopped abruptly causing me to crash into her, we fell to the ground after that, You definitely make me feel little things just by seeing you," he licked his lip while on top of me.

I found a way to get rid of it, I'm not one to beat women, I don't like that. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find a way, so I decided to play along.

"Okay, eh..." I forgot his name.

"Guang," he said, caressing my chest.

"Yes, Guang, let's do it," I said, smiling nervously.

"As you can tell it's your first time," he said mockingly.

Suddenly he got up, looked at me and said:

"I want to conceive a baby and for that the father has to be stronger than me," he said seriously, "so show me that your seed deserves to impregnate this plant," he pointed to my crotch.

"Is it a joke?" I thought.

We were in the middle of the village, from his back he pulled out a short sword, this was smaller compared to the ones I have seen in movies and coloring books, I looked carefully at his face, he did not seem to be from here, his face seemed to be from another side of the world.

"Ready?" —he looked at me—, well, it's time to start.

She was very fast, so competing with her at speed is not going to work, looking for a strategy I decided to abuse my eyes, she can't see as I see in the dark, that would be a great advantage to take into account, but I decided that the best thing would be to take it seriously. The village was still on fire, and I still didn't know him because it was on fire, I sighed, and opened my eyes suddenly. My appearance had changed only a little, a part of my hair rose upwards simulating a horn, some parts of my body began to be covered in black, and the color of my eyes lit up red.

Astaro: One-horned Demon Form

The woman looked at me carefully while licking her lip, after a few seconds a silence was present, while the wind blew emitting a whistle we both continued to look at each other. A burst of speed was heard, I threw myself as fast as I could to try to just scare her, but she didn't even flinch, on the contrary, she seemed to be very relaxed, suddenly a strong stomach ache took me by surprise, I looked at my abdomen where to my surprise, the sword that was previously in the woman's hands was now embedded in my abdomen, A large amount of blood came out of my mouth, as it fell to the ground.

"What's wrong honey, did it hurt?" He grabbed my face as I lay on the ground, "You look very bad, I should kill you right now to end your suffering," he laid me on my back as he climbed on top of me, "it's a shame, you're so handsome that it's really a shame that you're so weak."

He raised his sword in the air ready to plunge it into my head, when suddenly he heard a male voice coming from a tree branch.

"If you don't want me to kill you, don't you dare move, dog...

Before my blurred gaze I couldn't make out who it was, the only thing I could see was that he was wearing a white outfit, yes, everything was white, like the hair of...
